Puzzles are fun, interesting, and informative. Snake puzzles, for example, can teach children a lot. In addition to the skills to find distinctive and common features between objects, the child must understand that among the reptiles there are safe creatures and poisonous ones.
Simple riddles about the snake in prose
Typically, such questions include comparisons and contrasts. For example, there are such puzzles about the snake: “Long and thin, but not a rope, crawls on the ground, but not a worm, hisses, but not a hedgehog, small, but it can be fatal to bite!”
Older children, who already understand the difference between a harmless snake and a poisonous snake, can be offered riddles where these reptiles are compared. Such puzzles about the snake will bring practical benefits to the baby. Having met in nature with a snake, he will no longer run in horror from him. But it will become cautious if it does not find yellow spots on the head of a crawling creature.
Do not confuse the snake and the poisonous snake
In riddles of this type one should no longer compare the reptile with a rope and a worm. The author of the encrypted question has a different task. Therefore, you can offer something like this.
So much like a snake
Fears a hedgehog.
Head stain without spot -
Poisonous she!
This riddle about a snake for children, in addition to external differences, also contains one more important information. From it you can learn that hedgehogs are enemies of reptiles. Therefore, when he sees somewhere a prickly little prickly predator, the baby will not harm him.
About how dangerous snakes are, a puzzle will remind children with a rhyming answer at the end.
Here is a rope creeping
He even opens his mouth
Two-tailed tongue out of it!
“And it doesn’t matter that you are tall -
Run away! - I will say so. -
If it’s not so - ...! ”
Questions for the quiz
Even fairy tales cannot compete with riddles in cognition, since the latter often contain false information. For example, Bazhov describes the ability of the Blue Snake to give people gold. And there are fairy tales in which the enchanted princess is a snake.
In riddles, there should be exclusively truthful information. For example, a child will be interested to know that many reptiles lay eggs, from which cubs are then born. Only these cold-blooded creatures arrange nests either in the sand or on the ground.
“Who lays eggs, eats slugs and frogs, does not feed their cubs, and, defending themselves, can bite the victim, which in some cases leads to the death of the bitten?”
Of course, such questions are more suitable for school quizzes. But children from the senior preschool group can easily cope with them.
